Forecasts

Bien Chase (5/2), Silk Cravat (7/2), Lily's Prince (5/1), Geological (5/1), Kendwar (8/1), Zeeyalater (10/1), Mr Shelby (16/1), Mr Bernard (33/1), Night Law (33/1)

Verdict

The game six-year-old Geological could be up with the pace in the early stages with Kendwar and LILYS PRINCE who usually break well. The initial speed could well be an advantage to late closers Silk Cravat and Bien Chase who can press the selection all the way to the line here.
  1. Lily's Prince
  2. Silk Cravat
  3. Silk Cravat
